Not to take it offtopic but im fascinated by the Masaii jump. Any thoughts on adding it into one's training?

basically stiff leg pogo hops, one of the most highly recommended reactive exercises on this forum

pogos are incredible.. even more so than double leg bounds, MR tucks etc. They train "elastic qualities" obviously but i've always felt like they just improve triple extension better than any other exercise .. so if you want that "flick of the wrist" of a jump shot effect for your ankles, pogos are your exercise.

you basically try to keep your legs "locked" upon landing and flick yourself back up .. you can actually do this submaximally to start & it still provides a great training effect. It's easier to keep your legs locked when going submaximal. As you get higher, you'll have a little bit of bend upon landing which is fine. These Maasai jumpers allow more knee bend. If you notice they hardly have any arm swing either.

during my peak RVJ I felt like I could get near 30" or so off the ground on these, maybe even more .. here's a video of me doing them, but not at that level:

here's two more videos of the same Maasai jumper:

very serious bounce..

I like those pogo jumps, I can get high with them too. But since it's a plyometric exercise, it does pain my shins because I don't have the strength requirements, which I heard was that you had to squat 1.5 x bw to be able to qualify to do plyometrics safely.

just do them submax most of the time & occasionally do them near-max/hard to test it out, you'll be fine. don't need 1.5xBW squat strength, that's some BS

But it's really fun to do these as well, maybe it's the kenyan blood in me. 

important statement ^^ if they are fun to do and they feel good, do them.. probably.  but like you said you feel it in your shins, just don't go as hard.. you should be able to dial down the intensity and do them IF you wanted to.

pc!!!

came back on b4 sleep to post this, pretty impressive







this is also pretty nice:

crazy

the internet is amazing for athleticism. lmfao.

That guy in the last post in jumping approx 7m with little difficulty. He would do well in long jump.
